I seem to be into butterflies these days. LOL!!! Every time I turn around I'm using butterflies on another scrapbook page or card! Oh well...butterflies are great. I've been seeing a few more this year at the park so I think that is a good thing.
I got the inspiration for this card from a video I saw on Pinterest from Darlene Designs. I love her videos...she speeds them up and does audio over them. Anyway, her technique which I wanted to try was embossing with different colors on black cardstock. I've done different colors on white cardstock but thought it looked so striking on black.
Here is my card:
I used Bazzil Cardstock (the black), a piece of Pink Paislee Bayberry Cottage printed paper, some white cardstock, Crushed Olive Distress Ink, Adirondack Lettuce and Zig White embossing powders. I used a deckle edge frame from a Spellbinders set and then traced around and cut it out on white cardstock to give a little mat to it. I also used the "Hey There" sentiment from Paper Trey Inks Fillable Frames #6. The butterfly stamp is from the Hero Arts Antique Engravings set. I tied some seam binding around it for a nice little bow. And that's about it. Pretty fast (for me!)
Happy Crafting!
this looks absolutely stunning! Love white embossing on black papers.

Like all things Butterfly including this card. The Butterfly has a pretty metallic look to it.
